Wendell

Moore Jr.

The Duke product averaged just 4.2 minutes in 54 NBA appearances across his first two professional seasons. He could see more minutes while playing on a less talented Detroit roster, but he’s unlikely to be relevant in most fantasy leagues.

Once again sidelined, Moore hasn’t been in the rotation when healthy this season. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball.

Moore has missed Minnesota’s last two games due to a sore knee, but his absence hasn’t impacted fantasy basketball. He isn’t guaranteed to play rotation minutes when healthy.

Moore’s absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as he isn’t in the rotation when healthy.

Moore is back on the injury report due to a sore knee, and his status will not impact fantasy basketball. He isn’t in the rotation when healthy.

Moore is a late addition to the injury report. However, since he isn’t in the rotation, this will not impact fantasy basketball.

Moore had a solid run in Las Vegas, even if Saturday’s final result was a disappointing one. He was limited to 29 appearances as a rookie, playing a little over five minutes per game. And given the depth that the Timberwolves possess on the wings, with Troy Brown Jr. joining the team in free agency, it will be difficult for Moore to get the minutes he would need for fantasy relevance. Whether it’s a single-season league or one of the dynasty variety, Moore shouldn’t be on your radar right now.

McLaughlin returned to the Timberwolves lineup on Sunday and was also active for Tuesday’s loss to the Nuggets. He only played eight minutes in his second game back, which may impact the chances of him being available for Wednesday’s game. If McLaughlin is ruled out, Wendell Moore Jr. may pick up a few rotation minutes, as Austin Rivers is still suspended. Moore would not be worth streaming in that spot; Jaylen Nowell would be a far better choice.

Rivers was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets and will miss a second consecutive game. Jaylen Nowell will take on additional minutes, while Wendell Moore Jr. was on the back end of the rotation Wednesday night. Nowell is worth a look in deep leagues, but Moore is not.

McDaniels did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies and was replaced in the starting lineup by Wendell Moore Jr. While Moore did give the Timberwolves some solid minutes, especially defensively, a return to the bench removes any streaming value that he possessed.
